Stevie Johnson vs. Chaz Schilens

Wide receivers were a popular commodity in the 2008 NFL draft, with 35 selected during the seven-round process.
Long after such notables as DeSean Jackson, Jordy Nelson and Eddie Royal were selected, the Buffalo Bills drafted Stevie Johnson in the seventh round with the 224th pick and the Raiders took Chaz Schilens two picks later.
As further evidence of what a crap-shoot the draft is, the Raiders selected Arman Shields in the fourth round in the same draft.
Johnson was the 31st receiver snatched up, Schilens the 32nd. Schilens caught 15 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns his rookie season, and he appeared headed for a productive NFL career.
Johnson snared 10 passes for 102 yards and two touchdowns for the Bills in 2008. He added only two for 10 yards the following season.
Then came 2010, when Johnson had the breakout season Raiders fans hoped to see from Schilens at some point.
Johnson caught 82 passes for 1,073 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. Schilens caught five passes for 40 yards and one touchdown.
Bills coach Chan Gailey said Johnson has developed into a much better player than he thought he would when he scouted him at Kentucky.
“I had evaluated him when he came out, when I was in Kansas City,” Gailey said. “I thought he was a good player but I didn’t know he was this good, to be honest with you. A lot of people didn’t, or he wouldn’t have gotten drafted in the seventh round.
“He’s been a great surprise and I’m happy for him. He’s a good young man. He’s come a long way and we have a great deal of confidence in him right now.”
Naturally, injuries have been the biggest obstacle for Schilens since he joined the Raiders. He is healthy once again and hopeful of the kind of season Johnson had last year.
In Oakland’s first game, Schilens didn’t have any passes thrown his way. Johnson caught four for 66 yards and a touchdown in Buffalo’s 41-7 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Overall, Johnson’s career stats dwarf those of Schilens. He has twice as many receptions (98-49), almost twice the yardage
(1,251-631) and more than twice the touchdowns (13-5).
“It was just opportunity, that’s it,” Johnson said. “Nothing clicked, it was just Gailey giving me an opportunity, and my receivers coaches putting me in the right spot and making sure I’m on game for each week,” Johnson said.

284-As papa Mora said-you think you know but you really don’t.As Jack Nickolson said-the truth,you want the truth-you can’t handle the truth.Hagan isn’t even close to being the best WR on the team.But keep living in your fantasy world and believing whatever you want.

Quote of the day:

“It caught everybody’s attention around the league, any time you can go on the road and have a victory like that,” Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said. “What they did was a nice, impressive victory, but they’ve got to deal with us now. And we ain’t the Chiefs.”

CoopeRaider

What did I walk in on…the West Coast 8 mile! Lol

CoopeRaider

Geeeez…all this Hagan talk still. I’m sure you so called visionaries can go online and bet football futures on his stats and try putting your money where your mouth is. I guarantee his best season in Oakland won’t eclipse his best year in NY. I like the guy….really like him, but wouldn’t put him in front of any of the receivers Hue kept active on gameday.

CoopeRaider

Is anyone talking football still on?

Orthodoxdj

Masturbator Beecham,

GET A LIFE AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOU’RE A FAN OF MY TEAM. You don’t talk football. You talk about a fantasy life that no one believes is real. Maybe it started out as a joke, but now it’s old. That’s also an apt description of your life.

Go on, post more homo-erotic fantasies about living in the Bay and making out with Rich Gannon and getting to be Al’s lap dog. Be offended when someone makes an argument yoy have no answer for.

Every non-football related post you make shows more and more how much you don’t like the team. It’s just a sad cry for help.

CoopeRaider

Raiders football I mean. Like, actually support a coach going 1 and 0 and the decisions that brought home a conference win away from home.

Orthodoxdj

I think Oakland loses tmrw. It’s hard enough to travel to the east coast and play a morning game and find a way to win. Now factor in the fact Campbell isn’t very good and that Al starts DHB. If we win, it won’t be by a lot, and we’ll have the running game to thank.

coopraider….to know me is to love me, I a man named AL, jello in ma cranium, I am quite foul…

got us a lil controversy stems from the past, 12 coaches 10 yrs, they couldn’t last,

Just Die Baby !!! I out….

Anyone want to talk about how unbelievable our defense looked and how cool our scheme of rotating in players and blitzing all day is just what the Dr. ordered. Maybe I should go to bed. It’s 1:42 in Mizzouri.

I am being completely honest and unbiased as I write this review while sitting on the Reggae boat cruise… My group paid $45/each and were told that BBQ was included. Well it is NOT. In addition the only food on the “Reggae cruise”are Domino pizza slices and BBQ wings: for $5 each. The boat is the cheapest piece of crap I have ever been on and had we not paid for our tickets in advance, I would have never boarded. 2nd, and most importantly the boat did not leave until around 6:30, even though we were scheduled to leave at 6pm, which means right now I am being held HOSTAGE until 9:30pm! To make a horrible experience even worse we are riding around in a 1/4 mile circle!! The boat is literally a rip-off! Party people BEWARE!

I went on the July 4th cruise, and unfortunately, I didn’t think it was worth the money ($55 per person). First, the boarding gates opened about 15 minutes late, then the ship left the dock almost an hour later than scheduled. The reggae band was average (they did some Celine Dion covers turned reggae–very strange). Because the ship is pretty small, it kept rocking in the waves, which meant people were literally falling on top of each other at points, and the trash can on the top deck overturned multiple times. Also, the cruise advertised itself as getting riders close to the Queen Mary fireworks, but we were actually pretty far away. Other than drinking, there wasn’t much to do on the boat. On a positive note, I will say the boat was well-staffed (there were several security guards) and the crowd was a good mix of people.

hilarious! yeah beecham. ur a real swinging guy. and did u see that he actually listens to huey lewis and talks about it! he doesn’t even know how lame he is!

dude, just quit w/ the stupid lies and just be urself. know ur a lame-o and go w/ it. no one, and i mean no one believes you.

So, the die hard, most loyal of fans here basically spent the day bashing a Raiders’ player who’s done nothing wrong. Some fans.

Buffalo 28, Oakland 17.

*****************
let’s make a deal, stupid. if the raiders win sunday, u agree to never come back here under any alias. just realize your glory run of being able to diss the raiders is over. they’re good now, so u can go back to playing dungeons and dragons.

rob_raider

coaches tend to get irritated w/ media in general, b/c most of them have no clue about the game. any good reporter would know how little preseason means. they would know that a guy w/ no track record of success in 5 seasons, and a guy who was brought in late in preseason and was not even supposed to make the team, would not suddenly become a #1 wr based on a pretty good showing in preseason. hue and any good coach w/ a plan, would of course be irritated by some jackazz reporter suggesting it.

steve basically showed himself to be a fairly average knowledge-less fan.

Good morning my Raider Nation fam!
Anxious to see what Hue’s approach is on offense in regards to passing. Terrence McGee is out, so I’m hoping the more receivers we put out on the field the deeper we get into the depth of the Bills secondary. 4 wide out’s on the first play on offense-Schilens, Moore, DHB, Hagan or Miller??? Let’s GO RAIDERS!

Chargers get a break on scheduling

While the late start on Sunday gives Pats fans extra time to get “lubed up,” it gives the Chargers extra time to do something far more important.

Sleep.

In 2011, the Chargers will play only one game that kicks off at 10:00 a.m. local time, as recently pointed out by the San Diego Union-Tribune. It’s the fewest early starts they’ve had in at least 15 years.

“Good, that’s how it should be,” safety Eric Weddle told the Union-Tribune. “[Games at] 10 a.m. are the worst. I don’t care what anyone says. Just your body, mentality, physically, you’re just not up. It takes you a quarter, and that’s a huge advantage whether you can get down or if you can maintain just staying even with team. You know the records . . . not just us. Everyone.”

In the past five years, teams based in the Pacific time zone have won 35 and lost 74 games that start at 1:00 p.m. ET.

This year, the other four West Coast teams play at least five 10:00 a.m. local time games, each.

That will definitely be an issue on Sunday for the Raiders, given that they had a short week after a road game in Denver, and that they’ll be playing at 1:00 p.m. ET in Buffalo.

Also this week, the Seahawks play the Steelers at 1:00 p.m. ET, and the Cardinals play the Redskins at 1:00 p.m. ET. Though we’re not advocating for an increase in 4:05/4:15 p.m. ET starts, at a minimum the West Coast team that has to play an early game on the other side of the country should at least play a home game the prior week — and not be required to play an early game after playing on a Monday night, either home or away.
